Qoute, Paraphrase, and citation

The Quote:
“My 17-year-old son hates school. He has the ability to do better. How can I help him see that he needs to get serious about his education before it is too late…?
“Students who succeed are motivated either internally or externally to do a good job because they see school as a way to maximize the options open to them after graduation.”

Paraphrase response:
The quote sated that a seventeen year old boy who despise school and doesn’t care about his future because they are not pushed or encouraged to do well. Teens should be pushed in a positive path, so that he can brighter their future for the greater good. He need to become involved with their work so they can see the outcome of their future. He needs to be helped, pushed positively and encouraged so that their perspective will change before it’s too late to change their mind.

Summary:
Motivation to teens is very important, and they need it in their lives to be the best they can be. In my article “Teenagers Who School” by Peggy Gisler and Marge Eberts, was about this seventeen year old boy who is not inspired at all about school. His mother knows that he has the potential to do well, but she doesn’t no why he don’t want to do well in school. His mother wants the best for him, but he just is not motivated at all. In the article it states a statistic and it reads students that are motivated tend to do better in school. They are motivated because they tend to see school as a path to a brighter future and great success.
